A performance variant, the Mercedes-AMG CLE CLE 53 and CLE 63,[6] is also planned.[7]

Overview

The CLE Coupe is set to replace both the C-Class and E-Class as part of Mercedes' drive to streamline its model range.[8]

It has a rounded, single-bar grille with a honeycomb mesh insert and is accompanied by C-Class-style headlights and sporty air intakes. The rear includes LED taillights and an angular boot with an integrated spoiler. There is also a curved bumper that does not have exhaust cutouts.[4]

Mercedes hasn't provided much detail about the CLE, and even its name remains unconfirmed. However, the model is expected to be based on the C-Class and feature a similar interior with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster as well as an 11.9-inch infotainment system.[4]

Engine options should also be shared with the C-Class, meaning a 2.0-liter M264 turbo four-cylinder developing 255 hp (190 kW) and 295 ft⋅lb (400 N⋅m) of torque should be available. It should be joined by a CLE 43, with a 2.0-liter M139 turbo four-cylinder that develops 402 hp (300 kW) and 369 ft⋅lb (500 N⋅m) of torque.[4]
